Andrew Maider shows off a little something that he built off some foundation work by Takeshi Matsuura. It’s a great sequence of arm-based moves ending with a great-looking bind…definitely worth learning for any aspiring contest players!

CLYW and YoYoFactory have teamed up for a massive collaboration called BASECAMP, and it’s launching at the 2016 World YoYo Contest! The new collaborative brand will feature yoyo designs inspired by models from both companies, as well as new designs created collaboratively and other accessories like patches, stickers, tin mugs, and more.

The official release party and the first opportunity to buy BASECAMP releases will be Thursday, August 4th at SPACES Gallery, a short walk from the main contest venue & hotel. The party starts at 8 PM, and there will be a food truck for anyone who wants to pick up some dinner. Check out the official announcement below, as well as some teaser images of the new yoyos. You can also head over to BasecampYoYo.com for more teaser images of the new lineup.

We’re excited to announce BASECAMP, a new collaboration with our friends at YoYoFactory!

BASECAMP is where we all come together. A place to take refuge, a place to make plans and share stories…a place where one adventure ends and another begins.

This collaboration between CLYW and YoYoFactory is about working to create something that forges a new path forward for both companies, together or apart.

Sometimes, the best view isn’t from the summit.
